Close Dental Sales by Revisiting Your Existing Medicare Supplement Clients

Two Important Medicare Facts

Here are two important facts about Medicare. First, Medicare doesn’t cover most dental care. Secondly, Medicare does not provide for eye exams related to prescribing glasses.

A Cross-Sell Opportunity

Dental care becomes even more important as you age, and the same can be said for eye care. This means there’s a good opportunity for agents specializing in Medicare to make additional sales by revisiting their existing book of Medicare Supplement clients. Seniors desire adequate coverage for dental and vision. It’s up to you to present them with viable solutions that meet their needs and budget.

We offer a powerhouse lineup of carriers, including one that developed a dental plan specifically with seniors in mind. This senior-niche plan, called ProtectorPlus Dental was developed as a proprietary product specifically for SMS agents and is underwritten by insurance giant Ameritas. Having ProtectorPlus Dental in your wheelhouse puts you ahead of all the agents that do not have access to this exclusive option.
